It is a great shame the Noble Discoverer did not put out to sea when the Captain found that Lucy Lawless was sitting in the drilling tower. When the ship hit the open west coast water Ms Lawless would have been begging to come down.
Does Ms Lawless discount her participation in the use of fuel to get her from NZ to America and back and from her home to New New Plymouth or wherever she wants to go? It will be an injustice if she is discharged without conviction. A conviction would cause serious problems for her ability to work in America. A conviction would be a consequence of ill thought out actions and ‘just retribution' for an act of stupidity.
One might also wonder where she thinks her gold jewellery comes from. Most of the assets we covert and own, come to us at some environmental cost. It would be interesting to know whether her so called principles apply to herself or just to other people.
